Should I cuss out somebody I'm working for?

Okay...
I got hired 3 months ago to design some birthday cards as a freelance artist. I FINALLY get finished ( or so I thought...) and send everything to him. Mind you, this is after NUMEROUS e-mails from him wanting me to change this or that, which I expected. It got to the point where this shit started getting rediculous. He would tell me to change something, change it back, give him both versions changed and unchanged, one with out something and one with, send all those together, then that he had a new idea and wants me to forget everything I just did and start all over with a new idea. I begrudgingly do all of this, and then he e-mails me yesterday telling me he needs me to send him everything ALL OVER again because his "computer crashed". So I do that this morning, now he sends me an e-mail saying that he wants me to change SOMETHING I DID 3 MONTHS AGO because he has a new idea and all kinds of other bullshit pissed pissed pissed pissed pissed pissed
So should I cuss him out on some real shit?

Is he paying you? Do you want him to keep paying you?

If not, it would be better to fire him as a client (nicely) than to burn the bridge.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Sure, unemployment benefits just got extended. You'll do great!
Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it.

No, but there's nothing wrong with politely and professionally explaining that you start charging for revisions after a certain number.

I've change so much of that shit I've lost count. You should see how flooded my e-mail inbox is from him. This is my last day of class and any access to the material I have anyway so he's gonna have to take it or leave it. And he knows this. I've been telling him for a couple weeks now.
Sheesh.
